About this map

Burntside Lake dominates the southeastern quadrant of this map, its intricate shoreline dotted with named islands like Snellman Island and Pine Island. This 2011 survey by the U.S. Geological Survey details a landscape defined by an immense network of interconnected waterways and drainage patterns, where the Korb River and Crab Creek weave through a terrain of numerous smaller bodies of water such as Tidbit Lake, Little Crab Lake, and Princess Lake.

Surface transportation is limited to the southern fringe of the quadrangle, where Wolf Lake Rd and the Harder Cartway provide the only significant road access. This creates a clear distinction between the developed southern corridor and the wilderness to the north, which is accessible primarily by water. The distribution of features like Beach Island and Burnt Island suggests a landscape shaped by glacial activity, preserving a pristine character in this corner of Saint Louis County.
